Final Fantasy XIV’s ending has seen the ominous in-game events capped off with a snazzy cut scene, whilst anticipation for its rebirth as A Realm Reborn is growing with the release of alpha gameplay footage which is markedly more impressive than the original (though this is admittedly not saying much, else it would not need to be remade in the first place).

The end of the world:

Some of the first alpha gameplay footage for A Realm Reborn, its replacement:

That’s not gameplay, that’s just a graphics showoff. Speaking of graphics, it doesn’t even look that good, it looks like Tera with better textures.
And do we have any info on their policy with PvP and PK?

Looks good, looking forward to what kind of MMO its going to be. I mean what the main features the MMO will have and the direction its going to take. I hope something alot different then its previous version.

Also interested if its going to only PvE game again or there is some PvP stuff too. If only PvE I am looking forward to epic dungeons and raids.

I really wish they would make a console FF game with a bad/sad ending like this. That you still “beat” the last boss but that is still not enough so instead of the happy ending like always it would instead mean the end of the world.

I myself think that would be an EPIC ending for a console game. What other game have done that? I think it would be seen as something new and VERY good/refreshing.

its what it appears on the tin: ‘The end of the world” a failed last stand in which the only solution was to abandon that destined-to-die world and start anew, quite the analogy.

(on ARR)
i hope that square doesnt mess this chance, if anything they seem to have realized that they need to change, accepting that the merger was a failure and whatnot, but on HOW they change… only time will tell

One bad guy in the game called the big meteor looking thing, that is actually a prison for Bahamut, after kicking the shit out of the bad guy the summon did not stop and the big prison meteor thing and shit got real, all the animals and mobs fled the place and higher level monsters took their place, things got so messed up, chocobo’s were being summoned in towns.

The main protagonists of the game were off doing their own thing praying to gods and stuff and the armies were out for blood (because why not). Once everyone was organized for the final battle the main characters were their to reseal Bahamut but he cast, lv5 fuck yo’ shit up, aka megaflare.

Old epic guy realized things were done so he teleported everyone to the future as a final resort.

The White Raven, one of the head honchos Garlean Empire’s (the primary enemy that lives to the north of the people of the continent Eorzea) military was manipulated into calling down Dalamud, the second moon of Hydaelyn (the planet that XIV takes place on) in an effort to destroy the land, and he used his resources as a military leader to pull it off.

In response the players were forced to help encourage and reassemble the three “Grand Companies” of Eorzea – Eorzea’s own military force – and get these groups to cooperate with each other in an effort to stop the Empire before it was too late to stop the “meteor”. After a series of quests the Grand Companies form the Eorzean Alliance, and help the player defeat The White Raven, however their efforts were in vain as Dalamud is still plummeting toward the planet.

In a last ditch effort Loisoux (an archon, or physical manifestation of one The Twelve, the gods that Eorzenas pray to, and the old man in the cinematic) suggests that the player make a pilgrimage and pray to the 12 stones that represent The Twelve. Should the prayers be answered, then the archons will be able to use the power of The Twelve to stop Dalamud, the meteor.

Basically the last cinematic is showing the final confrontation between the Garlean Empire and the Eorzean Alliance. The three people on chocobos are the leaders of the Eorzean Alliance, and the old Elezen man is Loisoux, the archon. The meteor falls and Bahamut breaks out of it (and so it is revealed that the White Raven was manipulated by Bahamut into summining him back to Hydaelyn), Loisoux and the other archons attempt to use the power of the gods to reseal him, but he breaks free and fucks everything up. Once the seal fails, Loisoux teleports everyone away from harm, presumably to the future, however there are theories that we were returned to “The Mother Crystal” so that it can dream up a new Eorzea, however since we know that Bahamut is prsent in ARR, we can assume that we were sent to the future.

TLDR – Evil guy summons Bahamut, the good guys try to use the power of their gods to stop him, he fucks shit up anyway and they’re sent 5 years into the future so that they won’t die.

Pretty much all RPGs are cookie cutter. They follow the simple formula that something bad is happening in the world(examples someone is going to destroy it, a cataclysm is about to happen, simply war is tear apart the world, etc.) and a group of friends are forced into action to save the world. That is the general over arching story for most RPGs.

Its what happens on the way to saving the world that decides whether or not a RPG is good.

That’s the point… If Square Enix wants a second chance at the JRPG market, they need to do to their stories what they have done with BDFF’s system, which is to take a leaf from their earlier works, and improve from there.

uhm,,,how are ppl still playing Ps2 graphic,,,,come on,,,seriously,,,there are a lot worse and ppl play it (1 example – runescape)For a game to be sucessful it just needs to be fun, entertaining and keep making new stuff so ppl don’t get tired,,,just inovate,,,

Still rpg whichever way you slice it. You’re just so anti-social that you’re afraid to find out that your elitism is misplaced and yes, you really aren’t as good and smart a video game player as you believe yourself to be.
